This post is a slightly revised version of my lunchtime lightning talk at Baltimore Data Day 2017. This script corresponds to my slides which I’ve embedded below. Thanks to Ciara Christian for the opportunity to share my work around vacant housing, trash, and 311 data.

This collection of sources related to Lexington Market is based solely on the ProQuest Historical Newspapers database for the Baltimore Sun. Additional research should include the Afro-American, the Baltimore City Archives, and the Maryland State Archives.
